Have you ever hesitated before opening a sensitive discussion in your classroom, unsure whether the risks outweigh the benefits? This workshop is designed to help you recognise, evaluate, and manage the risks involved in discussing controversial topics, so you can support your students with confidence and clarity. Through practical tools, real-world scenarios, and reflective activities, you will learn to differentiate types of classroom risk, weigh them against educational benefits, and apply effective mitigation strategies. By the end of this session, you will feel more assured in making professional judgements that foster safe, balanced, and purposeful classroom discussions.
